About the piece
Painted in 1820 by Swiss artist Léopold Robert, this narrative scene depicts a shepherd and his daughter resting against a sun-drenched cliff. The work beautifully contrasts the ruggedness of the Italian mountain landscape with the peaceful vulnerability of the figures, whose vibrant traditional garments offer a striking focus against the muted, hazy background.
